The Matrix: Conclusion

After hearing the Matrix debate whether to take the red pill or blue pill, I stand with wanting to take the blue pill. I could not take the red pill knowing that Morpheus could be lying or untrustworthy. I understand wanting to now the truth of the world you live in and have free will but how can you truly have free will if you dont know the person giving it to you. Taking the blue pill is not ignorant but rather smart, this allows you to maintain the life you have and attempt to figure out the truth if you decide to. I don't think everyone would be ready to know the truth that Morpheus had to offer. Or even worse, some people may think they are ready and end up like Cypher, resenting everyone around him and trying to go back to the Matrix at any cost. I also know I might regret taking the red pill when I found out that everyone was chosen as "the one" and we are all the same and might not make any actually difference. Knowing Morpheus before and after taking the pill I think he came off as manipulative and did what he thought was right in order for you to take the red pill. Once you take the red pill you now are fighting for your life in something you may not have been ready for.

Although I do see the argument for the red pill, I could not take it without knowing the true intentions of those around me, trusting blindly. Morpheus makes the pills seem like a choice but in reality he's dangling an unknown truth in front of your face along with your old, perhaps boring life. It's only human to be curious impulsive behavior come along with curiosity. These behaviors might make you end up in a reality you do not want or are ready for. Taking the blue pill is free will, it's deciding what you chose to do with your life unaware of other possible factors, allowing you to chose your own reality.

5th Element: Fashion Show

I enjoyed watching the futuristic movie 5th element. I particularly enjoyed the fashion that was shown in the movie. I thought it was minimalistic but very futuristic. Leeloo had few outfits but the ones she wore were incredible and vibrant. I also really liked Zorg’s outfit, it showed men’s work wear but also had a shiny green color that made it different than what we see today especially on men. This is what inspired me for my fashion outfit. I wanted to use menswear and reconstruct it into a women’s look and repurpose items like a tie. I went to the thrift store not having an exact idea of what I was doing and I came across 2 gorgeous purple stri[ped men’s button downs, one specifically that had a green tint to it which made it unique. I then found a large lavender skirt that I cut up to make floating sleeves. I found a children’s vest that I would have my model fit into and wear. I found a lavender fur scarf that would be cut and glued around the trim of the vest. I also bought a p...

Vivienne Westwood: Fashion Designer

Vivienne Westwood is an English self-made designer who started her career in London. She partnered with Malcom McLaren and opened up a boutique. This store consisted of graphic t-shirts with provocative slogans and pictures, this completely went against the times with the hippie movement in the 1970s. Malcom and Vivienne kept rebelling with more crazy designs and put their punk rock edge into everything they did. Vivienne Westwood eventually made her own name and separated from Malcom. She continued to produce clothing and accessories that had a punk rock feel to it and became insanely successful. She is now 71 years old and still making an impact. She uses high proportions of sustainable and recycled material in her projects. She is an advocate for climate change and political issues and uses her platform for the great good. I think she is insanely impactful and full of creative out of the box ideas that the world needs to see and hear. Below are some of my favorite pieces.
